For that long, the constituency has not seen any real change even though other parts of the Kedah state are booming in context of development. Sungai Limau is situated on the coast of the Malacca straits and have a big potential to be developed especially for the tourism industry. However, this did not happen and the people of Sungai Limau are used to be left behind by the state government. Maybe that is what being promoted by PAS since its establishment. Their only mission and vision is to secure a place in heaven while disregarding their reality in this this world.
At a glance, Sungai Limau is seen similar to any village in the state of Kelantan in context of the mentality of its people and its geographical landscape. There are a few religious schools and “pondok schools” which are not well kept. Their existence is to show evidence to the outside world that this constituency are not chasing worldly matters, as their main goal is to go to heaven as promised by their PAS leaders.
In contrast with Sungai Limau, only a few kilometres to the north or south of Sungai Limau, the Alor Setar and Sungai Petani town are situated. In both of these towns we can see development under way or has already been established by the Barisan Nasional government. There are proper roads connecting Sungai Limau and both of these two town, however, it seems like the constituency of Sungai Limau is cut off from any development.
When appointed as the Menteri Besar of Kedah, the late Tan Sri Azizan was said to have a grand vision of his constituency. Project such as the hydrocarbon hub that was planned to be built in the constituency are said to be able to rise the state income and give a lot of job opportunities to enhance the economy and development in Sungai Limau.
However, this particular plan did not came into effect as there are a lot of hurdles, including the lach of experience from the state government itself. Thus, Sungai Limau will be left behind and excluded from development.
The people of Sungai Limau seem to be content with their way of living and their everyday routine. Sadly the world is changing and humans need to adaat to these changes. The people of Sungai Limau cannot be left behind in gaining knowledge and development as it is the main reason Allah created human beings in the first place.
If it is true that the people of Sungai Limau wants to find a place in heaven, they need to follow Allah’s orders to seek knowledge and to cultivate what He has given us in this world.
It is a fact that the development in Malaysia can only be achieved through the Barisan Nasional and not PAS. PAS has a lot of time to develop Sungai Limau, but they did not do anything to achieve that, even during their stint as the state government.
It is true that Tan Sri Azizan has tried but without the experience and knowledge it not as easy as what they think.
Like adding insult to injury, PAS during their reign in Kedah refuse to help a lot of religious schools and also ignore the “pondok” school that they took pride off. It seems that PAS is really depending on the support of the people in Sungai Limau.
However, we applaud the late Tan Sri Azizan who would consult an UMNO leader in order to enhance the development in Kedah. Sadly, Allah loves him more and he were not able to fulfil his dream to develop Kedah and especially Sungai Limau.
Now the people of Sungai Limau are given the chance to make it right. How long does the people of Sungai Limau will stay as a backward as they have now.
Just imagine the job opportunities and business that can be make if UMNO is given the mandate to represent Sungai Limau. Also imagine the help that the federal government can give to the religious school to upgrade the quality of education and development if UMNO won the Sungai Limau constituency.
What we are all sure is that UMNO will bring a better life for the people of Sungai Limau. It is hoped for all of the voters of Sungai Limau to vote intelligently on the 4th of November because no one can change your fate except you. It is time for the people of Sungai Limau to have something in their constituency.
